What we love about weddings here in the islands is that we go from the over two hundred guests weddings, to couples only weddings where the wedding takes place on Leeward Beach. Leeward beach is a very private beach here in Providenciales and so suitable for the smaller, intimate weddings.
Brilliant Studios has been photographing weddings here for the last twenty years and we are proud to have now photographed Turks and Caicos most exclusive wedding yet. Anita and I first met with Robin Lathrop the owner of ByRobin, Inc an Event Management Company who specializes in logistically challenging events all over the world, Lindsey and Cody and Lindsey’s mother a couple of months prior to discuss the plans for their big day. It didn’t take long for us to realize that this was going to be a spectacular wedding. With over two hundred guests and activities that were planned to take place over three days, it was going to take three photographers and a team of videographers to capture this wedding extravaganza of the year! And where would be the perfect venue to hold such an exclusive wedding event? The Gansevoort, Turks and Caicos. To achieve Robin Lathrop’s vision her team needed to bring in containers including such things as lighting, sound, video and specialty decor that could not be sourced here on the island. Over fifty work permits were arranged for her team of specialist brought in to set up and execute the events. In addition, she brought two bands to perform at the wedding and the beach party. Extra catering staff on island were employed by the Gansevoort to ensure that Lindsey and Cody and their wedding guests had every need attended to. One of the most incredible things about this whole wedding, for me, was where the ceremony and wedding reception took place… The ByRobin team custom built a platform over the resort swimming pool. The flowers, the decorations, the music, the lighting, the food and, of course, the bride and groom and their families made this a beautiful and impressive event. An event that we, here at Brilliant Studios, were extremely proud to have been chosen to capture. Location Wedding: Gansevoort Resort Turks and Caicos. Event Management Company ByRobin, Inc.

It is becoming more popular for guys to contact us, enquiring about secret proposals on Grace Bay beach while they are on vacation with their girlfriend. The first time we heard from Vitaly was a few weeks before coming down to the islands with his girlfriend, Lindsey, to stay at the Gansevvort, Turks and Caicos. The plan for the actual day was that Vitaly was going to take Lindsey for a walk and take photos on the beach about an hour before sunset. Little did Lindsay know that I was already there, waiting for them to walk by to capture the moment where he he got down on one knee and proposed. During the exact moment that Vitaly popped the question and got a resounding ‘yes’, a beautiful double rainbow appeared in the distance. In all the shoots that we have done like this, I have never had a double rainbow in the backdrop before! And on top of that spectacular moment, they also had a pretty stunning sunset before sitting down to eat at a private beach dinner in front of the Gansevvort. Here are a few highlights from their shoot.

A few weeks ago, Kim and Kevin contacted us about doing a honeymoon photo shoot in Grand Turk. They had already had their wedding day in Canada but wanted to have photos taken in their wedding attire whilst on their cruise ship honeymoon and stopping in Grand Turk for a few hours.
When the ship docked in Grand Turk we picked them up at the terminal and took them to a few different locations around the island for a variety of photographs.
A highlight of the shoot for us was chartering a boat to take Kim and Kevin to Gibbs Cay for a ‘trash the dress’ shoot. Gibbs Cay is well known for it’s sting rays that come to be fed by tourists in the shallow water. We have done many of this type of shoot before but never with sting rays!
After just a few minutes in the water, Kim and Kevin were surrounded by sting rays and one even photobombed a picture with what can only be described as a cheeky smile on it’s face 😉
At the end of the shoot, we took the short ride back to the cruise ship terminal and said goodbye to Kim and Kevin before making our own journey back to Providenciales. It was an awesome day. A big thanks to Grand Turks divers for helping us to get to Gibbs Cay and back to Grand Turk.
